BENJAMIN MENDY could be out for the rest of the season after Manchester City confirmed he had ruptured his ACL.

Mendy went off injured against Crystal Palace in the 5-0 after an awkward collision.

And the £52m summer signing may not feature again this term leaving Pep Guardiola without a recognised right back.

“Manchester City FC can confirm that Benjamin Mendy has ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee,” a statement read.

“The French defender sustained the injury during the first half of the Saturday’s 5-0 Premier League victory at home to Crystal Palace.

“After initial tests in Manchester at the start of the week, Benjamin travelled to Barcelona to see a specialist doctor, where further examinations of the knee today confirmed the extent of the injury.
